Well - I agree - Marriage began as a religious institution between a man and a woman right? Well - we have what is commonly refered to a seperation of church and state in this land. That being the case - NO MARRIAGE ever should be recognized by the government. Every single union between two people should be called a "civil union" and should be given rights associated with that union. Sex or sexual preference are irrelevant.

IF legalized 'marriage' were to come about then those companies that give benefits to 'domestic partners' will likely stop doing so because that whole benefit was for the gay employees anyway though it can be extended to heterosexual couples as well.

I do not support discrimination based no sexual preference under any pretense.
